Pop! "The West saw a 29.6 percent drop, while the South saw sales fall 6.4 percent, as the two country's two hottest regions for housing slowed. Sales in the Northeast and Midwest gained, but between them those regions accounted for less that a quarter of the nation's new home sales last year." ---- new housing declines money.cnn.com ------ Honestly, I think it's going to take a big wake up call to get people to make Dubya less popular than Cheney. The new Rovian strategy: pile up all the bad stuff on the WH and make Congressional Republicans squeaky clean for the midterms. It's the reverse coat-tails methodology. Hypocritical? Obviously but Republicans have to blame reality on somebody and since it's one-party rule they're going to have a hard time blaming it on the Dems who are keeping mum.

Honestly, I don't think Dubya is divorced from reality. I think this is the oligopolists fantasy dream reality. The chaos of war, this hugely expensive war in such a small country, provides enormous profits for Dubya's true constituency. It isn't, so far, spilling out anywhere so it's just the US middle class worker who is paying the huge price tag. Dubya is still pushing hard for more tax cuts for the ultrawealthy so that his constituency gets most of the profits at a bargain basement price. He's getting exactly what he set out to do. IMO people have to really understand that Dubya's incompetent when it comes to doing well by American citizen but he's highly competent when it comes to doing well by himself, his family and his cronies. Once that's clear, the entire Republican Corporatist agenda becomes unveiled for what it truly is: against the interests of the vast majority of Americans.
